Vocabulary Learning
⚡️ The 'Did Not' Pattern
In this story, we see a lot of things that did not happen. This is how we talk about the past when something was a failure or a 'no'.
The Rule:
Did not + Action Word (Base Form)
From the Text:
- Did not prepare → (They forgot to get ready for the rain)
- Did not stop → (England kept scoring)
- Did not score → (Vaibhav got zero or few points)
Why this helps you reach A2: Stop saying "He no play." Instead, use did not for everything in the past.
Quick Comparison:
- Positive: He played well.
- Negative: He did not play well.
🗓️ Talking about the Future
Look at the sentence: "He will play in the next series."
Whenever you see WILL, you are jumping from today into tomorrow.
Will → Action
- Will play
- Will meet
- Will win
Simple Logic: Past (Did) → Present (Is/Do) → Future (Will)
